Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing or MI is a collective, person-centered arrangement of guiding to provoke and reinforce incentive and assurance for modification (Hettema, Steele, & Miller, 2005). It is a treatment method which recognizes that many individuals undergo uncertainty when determining to make a change (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). Ambivalence is a usual state of doubt that each person experiences during the course of most change processes (Miller, 2006). Uncertainty takes place because of contradictory feelings about the process and results of change. MI helps individuals to reconnoiter and resolve their uncertainty about their substance use and commence to create constructive behavioral and psychological changes …show more content…
The method endeavors to increase the client 's mindfulness of the latent difficulties triggered, consequences experienced, and dangers encountered as a product of the behavior in question (Miller, 2006). In turn, counselors help clients imagine a healthier future and become progressively encouraged to attain it. The stratagem pursues to help clients think differently about their performance and in due course to deliberate what might be gained through change (Miller & Rollnick, 2002).

An associated conjecture is that therapists who have perilous counseling abilities can help enable personal change in their clients (Vasilaki, et al., 2006). The four ideologies of improving motivation, as singled out by Miller and Rollnick, are: 1) articulating understanding; 2) understanding the difference between one’s long-term aims and one’s behavior; 3) rolling with opposition; and 4) supporting an individual’s confidence in his or her capability to change (Vasilaki, et al., 2006). The first of these four values is derivative of Rogers’ work in the region of empathic understanding of a client’s aforementioned behavior (Miller, 2006). As demarcated by Rogers, correct understanding includes dexterous reflective listening that elucidates and intensifies a person’s arrangement of reality (Miller, 2006). Dissimilar to Rogers’ wide use of reflective listening, however, Miller and Rollnick’s practice is to offer information in relations to providing a list of different options (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). Furthermore, in difference to Rogers approach, motivational therapists use a cognitive method to assist clients in seeing the inconsistency between their objectives and current behavior (Miller,
